The big day is all about you and your significant other, filled with moments to last a lifetime. When it comes to your wedding reception, laughter and joy will come most from the dancing. Although song selection may not make it to the top of your to-do list, it\u2019s important to pick out a meaningful soundtrack for your wedding celebration. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Aside from selecting from the best first dance wedding songs, you can also make this moment special for your parents too, especially mom. Traditionally, the dancing portion of the wedding reception is kicked off with the newlyweds first dance and the parent-child dances. Although the father-daughter dance may get more attention, the mother-son first dance is just as special and is the best way to make mom feel important. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> Selecting a song just for her is the perfect way to honor your relationship and the special bond the two of you share. So, how do you pick just one? Put a smile on her face to the lyrics of Eric Clapton\u2019s ballad,<\/span> <span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cWonderful Tonight.\u201d Use James Taylor to tell Mom how sweet it is to be loved by her or thank her for all she has done by taking her hand to the sound of \u201cIsn\u2019t She Lovely\u201d by Stevie Wonder. Use the steps below to help you pick the perfect song and inspire your selection.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h2>How to Pick a Mother and Son First Dance Song?<\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Before selecting a mother and son first dance song, take a few moments to think about what you want the song to express. You\u2019ll want the lyrics and the music to be heartfelt and reflect your relationship with mom. The mother son wedding dance is a bittersweet moment in the evening when a mother witnesses her son becoming a husband. There are plenty of songs that will help you express this feeling and bring on the tears so it\u2019s important to pick one that\u2019s unique. That\u2019s why we\u2019ve listed the four steps below that will help you pick the best song for the mother and son first dance: <\/span><\/p>\n<ol>\n<li><b>Think about your unique relationship.<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> Your mom is surely one-of-a-kind and you\u2019ll want your first dance song to reflect that relationship. You\u2019ll also want to pick a sentimental tune that will allow her to feel appreciated for all of her love and help over the years.<\/span><\/li>\n<li><b>Think about a certain decade or genre the two of you may prefer. <span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">This is the perfect way to narrow down a long list of songs and streamline your options. Find the perfect decade and genre that the two of you like and go from there. <\/span><\/b><\/li>\n<li><strong>Consider if you&#8217;d like a slow song or something more upbeat.<\/strong> <span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Although the mother-son first dance song is something more emotional with a slow tempo, there is nothing stopping you from picking an upbeat tune that is lighthearted and dance worthy. Just be sure it is something your mom will absolutely love and your guests will enjoy watching. <\/span><\/li>\n<li><strong>Have fun with your song selection and honor the special relationship you have with your mom!<\/strong> <span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">No matter which song you end up selecting, your mom will feel loved and remember this moment forever. So the both of you should remember to soak it in.\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<h2>Who Chooses\u00a0the Mother Son Wedding Dance Song?<\/h2>\n<p><strong>The groom is usually the one who chooses the mother son wedding dance song.<\/strong> Seeing as the dance serves as a tribute to your mom, it can be a nice touch for you to surprise her with a song selection with heartwarming lyrics that are just for her. You can certainly ask Mom for her nod of approval once you have narrowed down your selection or have found the perfect one. On the other hand, parents may also enjoy being included in the first dance song selection and if you are picking out the song together, it can serve as bonding time with mom before the wedding. Ultimately, the choice of who picks the mother\/groom first dance song is up to your personal preference as long as it&#8217;s special and meaningful.<\/p>\n<h2>When is the Mother Son Dance?<\/h2>\n<p><strong>The mother son dance takes place after the newlywed&#8217;s first dance and after the father daughter first dance.<\/strong> Since the newlywed&#8217;s first dance is most commonly the one that kicks off the reception portion of the night, it is tradition to have the parent&#8217;s first dances follow right after. When it comes to wedding first dances, traditionally speaking, Mom gets honored after the bride and her dad have their special moment. It is becoming more common though for bride and grooms to combine both the father daughter dance and the mother son dance, to take place after the bride and groom&#8217;s first dance as husband and wife.<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Whether you choose a classic track or an artist\u2019s cover, your mom will appreciate the gesture and your dance will serve as a memory she will never forget. Use our list of mother-son wedding dance songs, separated by genre, to help you find the perfect tune.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2>Ballad Mother Son Dance Songs<\/h2>\n\n<table id=\"tablepress-34\" class=\"tablepress tablepress-id-34\">\n<thead>\n<tr class=\"row-1\">\n\t<th class=\"column-1\">Song Title <\/th><th class=\"column-2\">Song Artist <\/th><th class=\"column-3\">Year<\/th>\n<\/tr>\n<\/thead>\n<tbody>\n<tr class=\"row-2\">\n\t<td class=\"column-1\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=Fy_JRGjc1To\" target=\"_blank\">Unforgettable<\/a><\/td><td class=\"column-2\">Nat King Cole<\/td><td class=\"column-3\">1943<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr class=\"row-3\">\n\t<td class=\"column-1\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=JErVP6xLZwg\" target=\"_blank\">L-O-V-E<\/a><\/td><td class=\"column-2\">Nat King Cole<\/td><td class=\"column-3\">1964<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr class=\"row-4\">\n\t<td class=\"column-1\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=21LGv8Cf0us\" target=\"_blank\">What a Wonderful World<\/a><\/td><td class=\"column-2\">Louis Armstrong<\/td><td class=\"column-3\">1967<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr class=\"row-5\">\n\t<td class=\"column-1\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=cKolD582AVI\" target=\"_blank\">Let It Be<\/a><\/td><td class=\"column-2\">Beatles<\/td><td class=\"column-3\">1970<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr class=\"row-6\">\n\t<td class=\"column-1\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=mTa8U0Wa0q8\" target=\"_blank\">Your Song<\/a><\/td><td class=\"column-2\">Elton John<\/td><td class=\"column-3\">1971<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr class=\"row-7\">\n\t<td class=\"column-1\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=WM7-PYtXtJM\" target=\"_blank\">Landslide<\/a><\/td><td class=\"column-2\">Fleetwood Mac<\/td><td class=\"column-3\">1975<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr class=\"row-8\">\n\t<td class=\"column-1\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=HaA3YZ6QdJU\" target=\"_blank\">Just The Way You Are<\/a><\/td><td class=\"column-2\">Billy Joel<\/td><td class=\"column-3\">1978<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr class=\"row-9\">\n\t<td class=\"column-1\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=vUSzL2leaFM\" target=\"_blank\">Wonderful Tonight<\/a><\/td><td class=\"column-2\">Eric Clapton<\/td><td class=\"column-3\">1978<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr class=\"row-10\">\n\t<td class=\"column-1\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=CRfy1yorkec\" target=\"_blank\">You're The Inspiration<\/a><\/td><td class=\"column-2\">Chicago<\/td><td class=\"column-3\">1984<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr class=\"row-11\">\n\t<td class=\"column-1\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=0iAzMRKFX3c\" target=\"_blank\">Wind Beneath My Wings <\/a><\/td><td class=\"column-2\">Bette Midler<\/td><td class=\"column-3\">1984<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr class=\"row-12\">\n\t<td class=\"column-1\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=XmSdTa9kaiQ\" target=\"_blank\">With or Without You<\/a><\/td><td class=\"column-2\">U2<\/td><td class=\"column-3\">1987<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr class=\"row-13\">\n\t<td class=\"column-1\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=RV-Z1YwaOiw\" target=\"_blank\">I Hope You Dance<\/a><\/td><td class=\"column-2\">Lee Ann Womack<\/td><td class=\"column-3\">2000<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<!-- #tablepress-34 from cache -->\n<h2>Oldies Mother Son Dance Songs<\/h2>\n\n<table id=\"tablepress-35\" class=\"tablepress tablepress-id-35\">\n<thead>\n<tr class=\"row-1\">\n\t<th class=\"column-1\">Song Title<\/th><th class=\"column-2\">Song Artist<\/th><th class=\"column-3\">Year<\/th>\n<\/tr>\n<\/thead>\n<tbody>\n<tr class=\"row-2\">\n\t<td class=\"column-1\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=BTCfQ6Bb8QE\" target=\"_blank\">Stand By Me<\/a><\/td><td class=\"column-2\">Ben E.
